ancient female doctor

Chapter 452
Hearing Qingshan's words, Qingzhu gave him a big white eye, and then said: "You are not a censor, and you are not an imperial envoy, even if Jiang Lingde is really a big moth, what can you do to him? Hastily done? Besides, in case the family has money, not because of corruption, then everyone will be embarrassed and don't talk about it, and you will be a laughingstock."

Qingshan was a little unconvinced, looked at Qingzhu and said: "Even if I am not an imperial envoy or a censor, but the road is uneven and everyone steps on it, do I want to just sit and watch a corrupt official get away with it in front of me?"

Then, Qingshan snorted twice, and said again: "I don't believe that Jiang Lingde is not a corrupt official. Now all the officials in the world are officials from the old dynasty, and Beishan County is a county government directly under the imperial court. Can there be any official who is not corrupt? It’s just how much I get. I just can’t stand those corrupt officials. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely get one if I see one, and get one pair if I see two.”

Qingzhu shook his head and said: "You also said that if there is a chance, but now, is it considered an opportunity? If the name is not correct, the words are not right. If you want me to say, it is better to ask someone to go out and inquire about it, and write him down first. , the future will be long, and when there is a chance, we will settle accounts with him."

Qingshan still refused to accept it, looked at Qingzhu and said: "That's true, but sister, I'm really suffocated. We also survived the hard days, and Shengdou Xiaomin worked so hard every day for food and clothing. , it’s not that you don’t know. If you really watch the people suffer but remain indifferent, then wouldn’t I be ashamed of my teacher’s teachings?”

"It's not for you to watch, but for you to inquire first. Even if Jiang Lingde is probably not a good official, we can't just convict him just because he gave us a generous gift, let alone , we don’t have this right in the first place, right?” Qingzhu understood Qingshan’s thoughts very well, but she couldn’t fully agree with him, so she could only continue persuading him earnestly.

Qingshan snorted twice, and said: "If he is really a good official, then how do you explain this box of jewels? Those things should cost at least a thousand taels."

"His monthly salary is only more than 500 taels, and with all kinds of filial piety, he can earn [-] taels a year. If he is not greedy, he can casually take out more than two years' income and give it to him. A passer-by, even a slightly offended official or nobleman giving a gift?"

Qingzhu was helpless, sighed slightly, looked at Qingshan and said: "Of course I understand what you said, and I can agree with it. I just want to tell you, don't be too absolute in everything. We can't do it casually without investigation. Seeing people as bad, like that, is very bad..."

Qingzhu paused, and then said: "What's more, we don't have the authority to question or even arrest a local chief official. If you act rashly, you will only make people believe and add more jokes."

Qingshan's eyes fell on the mahogany box placed on the small table in the main seat, and he said with a face full of resentment: "What authority is not authority, right is not right. Sister, I think you have changed, and you have become afraid of being provoked." Trouble, become fond of..."

As he said that, Qingshan seemed to realize that he had slipped his words, and suddenly stopped talking, not looking at the green bamboo, nor at the mahogany box, only turned his head and found a place to sit down angrily.

Qingshan didn't finish speaking, but Qingzhu understood the half of what he didn't say, looked at Qingshan for a while, and asked quietly: "Do you want to say that elder sister loves money more and more?"

"No." Qingshan was a little uncomfortable, looked to the side, and replied a little bluntly.

Qingzhu's expression was stiff, and he forced a smile and said: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Even if Sister is a woman, she is not the one who is greedy for money."

"My sister intended to return that box of jewels, but you saw it just now. It was Jiang Lingde who insisted on not taking it. Could my sister forcefully order him to take it away? But, even if he didn't take it away, sister I didn't intend to use this either."

"Sister is not short of money, let alone this kind of money whose origin is not known to be innocent. Sister has just made a decision in her heart. These jewels will be converted into silver coins, and every penny will be used for ordinary money. Since you don't believe in the common people, then you can deal with it yourself."

Saying that, Qing Zhu walked out.

"Sister, that's not what I meant..." Seeing that Qingzhu was about to leave, Qingshan felt guilty again, followed Qingzhu's back, and spoke hastily.

Qingzhu paused slightly, without looking back, just said: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about it. I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first, after a day of driving, and after working so hard, you should be tired too. Rest early."

After saying this, Qingzhu stepped out of the door of the main hall of the post house and returned to the room.

Looking at Qingzhu's back, Qingshan felt more and more guilty, and could only wish to slap herself several times.

Elder Sister is obviously not like that, why did she say those heartbreaking words out of a daze for no reason?
"I'm sorry, sister..."

Qingshan muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, he slumped on the chair and didn't want to move for a long time.

Qingshan felt uncomfortable, and Qingzhu felt even more mixed.

She could guess that Qing Shan didn't really misunderstand her, what Qing Shan said was just a temporary advantage of tongue.

But what's behind this tongue-in-cheek advantage?
Qing Zhu was also a little irritable, she didn't want to understand this.

I don't even want Qingshan to think about those messy things.

The so-called relatives, is there any need for you and me?

Qingzhu was thinking wildly, her mind was buzzing, as if there were many bees flying around.

"Miss." Not long after they left, Zhang Shun came towards him, and when he saw the green bamboo, he respectfully stood aside with his head bowed, and called out in a low voice.

"Oh, Zhang Shun, it just so happens that it's so late, go and ask the young master to rest early, it's quite cold at the moment, so don't sit in the hall with his head in a daze." Qing Zhu saw Zhang Shun, but couldn't help but Thinking of the green shirt still left in the hall of the post house, he asked Zhang Shun.

"Yes." Zhang Shun nodded and responded respectfully.

After explaining to Zhang Shun, Qingzhu went to her room again.

Sister Yu has already prepared the hot water for washing and the bed has been made, and she is waiting for Qingzhu to go back to rest.

After Qingzhu finished washing, she was about to take off her clothes and go to bed, when she suddenly felt that something was on her mind, so she said to Sister Yu: "Go to the young master's side to see if the young master has rested, just listen outside , don’t bother the young master. By the way, go and invite Wang Er here, and just say that I have something to ask him.”
